We are all so excited to be back in person, in what is an almost normal year, and a part of a normal year is Open House, when families can come to meet all of their students' teachers.  Unfortunately, this give the current levels of COVID cases and spread, we are being advised to avoid large gatherings and visitors.  Instead, we are going to revert back to the way we held Open House last year, through virtual classroom meetings with the teachers.  

Most schools have opted for videos, but we want to have as much of an in-person feel as possible, so we are going to have live meetings with our teachers for each class period.  Additionally, one of the most appreciated aspects of Open House is the experience parents have moving from class to class, following their student's schedule.  We cannot provide that experience exactly, but we will helping parents move from period to period virtually, by joining each class link according to the schedule below.  

In order to set this up and do so in a quality way, we are moving Virtual Open House to Tuesday, August 31.  This is a change from previously published date.
